Cupcake was fun. That was our tasting host's nickname…read more It was Nevada Day weekend and every winery is swamped for three day. But Cupcake was a pouring genius and making everyone welcome. The tasting room and wine shop has a bit of an Italian villa vibe. The huge back lawn was beautiful. We chose to stay inside since outside service was limited that day. The bottle labels and wine names were entertaining in themselves. With an extensive list it was hard to choose a few to try. I started with three of their five sparkling wines. The Almond, the Peach, and the Strawberry. I have an office full of girls that enjoy their sweet bubbles. So they got some that day. For me, I like the reds. Julie Ann Barbera, Sienna Mourvedre, Morgan's Nebbiolo, and Naughty Bawdy. All great, but Naughty you have to try on label and name alone. Plenty of parking in the front.

Absolutely beautiful outdoor area that is perfect for spring weather! They don't serve food here…read moreso you have to bring your own. It is also dog friendly inside and outside as long as it is leashed. They also have 6 different sparkling wines to select from for $10. You pick 5 but they let us taste the 6th for free.

We made a stop at a vineyard in Shenandoah, and what a treat it was! Karen was our guide -- and let…read moreme just say, she was not your average Karen! A former biology teacher, she brought so much knowledge and passion to the experience that we walked away having learned a ton. Another winery had recommended this spot to us for the quality of their grapes and wine, and they were absolutely right. The variety was impressive -- the Barbera was excellent, the Blanc de Blanc was crisp and refreshing, the Cabernet was fantastic, and even the Pinot surprised me (I don't usually go for Pinot, but I really enjoyed it here!). Between the warm, knowledgeable guidance and the wonderful wines, this vineyard truly stood out on our trip.

Another fabulous find for us in Jeff Runquist Winery. They attended the Amador Four Fires festival…read more This festival provided insight into some amazing wines and Jeff Runquist is one of them. This winery sources wines from 12 different appellations. This means you have tremendous access to fantastic wine regions across California and wonderful varieties to tempt your taste buds. The tasting room was clean and welcoming and the day we visited it was member pick up day. The wines we tasted were fantastic and we purchased quite a few. Membership is available and several levels to choose from. I would recommend this winery. The festival provided a fantastic opportunity to taste these wines and others as well.

This is my absolute favorite winery in Amador County!…read more Honestly the best spot for red wine tasting‼ It was only $10 for six tastings, and they even offered free snacks that paired perfectly with the wines. Super affordable!! The staff were always so attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. I loved that they did full service pours. It made the experience feel extra special. I've really been enjoying the 2023 wines lately. There are so many great ones from that year! Many options available here (as of November 2025). ※ My Favorites (as of Nov 2025): * 2023 Pinot Noir - absolutely my top pick. It pairs perfectly with the apricot! * 2022 Sangiovese - amazing with cheese. Even my husband, who normally prefers white wine, really enjoys the reds here.:)
